I booked some new files into contrib. The version of contrib I was working in was booked out as the MOODLE_18_STABLE branch - the branch I wanted my new files on.

However, viewing the web based CVS they seem to be marked as "Dead Files". I've not seen that before. Presumably I've been stupid, but I don't see!!

Help anyone??

Howard - I'm just guessing but since the files exist in one branch and not in head might CVS be presuming they are dead until they get checked into head? Any reason not to add them to head as well? Peace - Anthony

Aha - good idea.


The reason I didn't is that I haven't tested the code against the head version of Moodle, but I guess that's not really the point is it.....


EDIT:

Problem solved. Thanks Gentlemen smile
